Moderator, how do I view my resume I place on your job site. I dont see any new resumes posted when
I look on there and I did mine yesterday. Where can I see it. I did not come up with the list of resumes that seems to end in August.
There's a link to post resumes on the Job Seeker's board. nm

Hi, im new here, long question.. dont know where to post it!
Hello everyone.. I don't know where to start and I'm just taking a quick break from my work
sorry if this is long, i want to get the best answer and help so i'm gonna give some background (and i dont bother usually with capitalization in my friendly emails, but i assure you it is not how i type my work).. .LOL
Anyways, I am 25 years old, have been doing transcription for seven years (my mom taught me when I was in high school). I love my job and work for two places. One is a hospital so I don't know how negotiable that pay rate is. The other one is a doctor's office.
Urology. I started with them September 11, 2001. (crazy, sad, i know)... I started at 12 cents a line.(the hospital pays me 10 cents) They are located in California, where I used to live. Two years ago, they got a new office manager (i was pretty close with the first one). Well this office manager happened to be someone I had previously worked with, who had screwed over my mom and I because they sent their work to India without EVER telling us until two days before hand (even though we told her to just tell us when it was going to happen). Well that practice eventually broke up... and what luck I had, she is now AGAIN my office manager. Well a year ago I decided I was going to move away and I bought everything for the office that they needed to go digital (we were doing tapes before). Now I live in Nevada and do their work over the internet, returning their work within 24 hours.
My question is, I think I deserve a raise, and I have no idea how to go about it. I have been with them for five years, obviously the cost of living has risen, including health care. By the way, I receive no benefits from either the hospital or the office.
Is this reasonable, and does anyone have any suggestions or pointers? I still feel pretty young and vulnerable because I have never been in a position to ask for a raise. Since I am an independent contractor, I suppose it wouldn't be asking, rather than just telling... but I want it to be more appropriate than that.
And I'm basically wondering what others are making as independent contractors, i know companies don't pay as much, but they also offer benefits...
Thanks for taking the time... back to work for me.

Not sure this is the right place to post but have question regarding bid I placed on account - sm-
I placed a bid on a local account. I was contacted by the hospital for more information regarding my bid. I was told that they narrowed it down to two and that I was one of the two. The line rate that I had bid was 10 cents a gross line. I know for a fact that some of the girls working on that account are making 10 cents a gross line so I figured if I bid 10 cents a gross line that I would be lower than the current transcription provider. I have not been officially told that I did not get the bid but I heard through the grapevine that the same person who had it was awarded it again. I also know for a fact that some of the people working on this account have no clue what they are typing, that work is turned in late, that some days the girls get 1000 lines of work and other days are expected to do 4000 lines in a day and because they cannot do it, they just don't turn the work in and no one is aware of this because it is so mismanaged. I realize that a clinic/hospital has the right to reject any and all bids but with the cost of healthcare continually rising, doesn't the clinic/hospital owe it to somebody to have accepted a lower bid if it was going to save them thousands of dollars?? If I had underbid by 1 cent, it would have saved them thousands of dollars. I also was going to provide a call-in system at no additional charge to them. They do their transcription the old fashioned way with picking up and dropping off of tapes which means that I could have given them a 24-hour turnaround time. I was also willing to go with picking up and dropping off tapes if that was how they wanted to continue. Anyhow, I am very frustrated and once I know that I officially did not get the bid, then I want to write a letter to someone such as the hospital board. Any input on this is very much appreciated.
True, above post in wrong place. Sorry.

Is there a place to post requests for positive thoughts?
I applied for a job that I really want and need. The waiting game is killing me. I know it's out of my hands now, but I'm so antsy waiting to hear back from them. Please send me some positive job mojo thoughts. Thank you.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.
:
Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont
x
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

Resumes
I have been advertising for an MT, but some of the resumes received are appalling. There will be misspelled words, incorrect word usage, etc. I advertised for a few years experience and although these resumes show that they have the number of years required, there are still these types of errors. Now, of course, for me I will not hire anyone with multiple errors in their resume. But, here is my question I guess, I will thank everyone for sending a resume once I have filled the position, but on some of these (and I cannot do all of them of course) that just need a few touchups, would you take the extra minute to let them know what they could do to improve their resume? Not downgrading them by any means, but just let them know maybe what knocked them out of getting the position you had available or maybe just letting them know about the errors. I would love opinions on this please but really more for can I help them or will it just tick them off?
I don't know about the resumes, but --sm
on this board, they keep a pretty good eye on things. and now since it has been questioned by someone, the administrator may just come out and tell us if it is a US computer address or not.
I just wish they would monitor the MQ board better, as the people on that one are really calling each other s*t*u*p*i*d and the like, and getting away with it. I have never seen such rude people as on that board! my goodness.
resumes
If you have ever pasted it on the actual site, it will automatically fill stuff in for you. I have mine on a certain other job website, and when I click on a job to submit my resume it fills in everything for me.
Polish up those resumes
I've been job hunting for a long time time searching for the right job. This week I got three job offers, plus my phone and emails are going on overload. Let the hiring begin.
Now's the time fellow MTs, everyone seems to be hiring!!
MTSOs AND RESUMES
As a recruiter, it is nice to have the references already listed in the resume.
I don't think everything is caught - like the job resumes
with addresses like Mumbai, Hawaii. Could it be a name, not a place?
14 cpl? are you still taking resumes?

The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.

Resumes "use caution" sm
i provided a little too much information in my resume to a company I did not know. That company had the "brass ones" to go after some of the accounts I used to service. I think one has to be very explicit as to what they have to offer, i.e., education, backgound (not too specific yet), willingness to test (that should tell them something)and not too much upfront or personal. I have a wonderful background and while testing online, I was thrown some curves by a company, such as showing me an anatomy chart with arrows pointing. What did they want? They were not clear, I could have answered in muscles, bones,tendons, areas of the body, etc., just blank black and white charts with arrows pointing at random is kind of irrelevant. Then before they let me finish the test, I received a message that I had "failed the test." These brainless idiots missed out and I really would not want any part of them anyway. I have received replies that I would "here" from others with the worst English language on the face of the earth in those replies. This testing stuff is for the birds. Either you know it or you don't -- you're not going to fake it to make it just to land a job with a company who tell you nothing about themselves but want to know everything about you. Beware of the wolves at your door! I've given my life to this field and now I want to work from home for someone like myself who gave their heart and soul to the business,and I will be willing to share my experience for the comfort of working from home. I will not work for some money-making jerks who don't care about the patients, just the almighty $$$. Too bad they only care about how they can "soak" their clients and kick good people to the curb.Too many inmantes are running the asylum. Be careful!
Question for MTSOs about resumes
Just curious... what is the preference of an MTSO when it comes to references..... would you prefer to have them listed in the resume or is it acceptable to have "Available upon request" on a resume.
Thank you

AOL problems please resend resumes..sm
To anyone that applied for the radiology IC position posted a few days ago, if you sent a resume, or email, I did not get it. I have since found out that there is a problem with AOL for some reason on this site and no replies are coming through. I have since reposted the ad with a different email server.
If you are still looking for IC radiology position, plenty of work guaranteed, do not over hire, please read the ad I reposted on the job board and send a resume.
I reply to all emails if you meet the requirements.

Resumes and filling out applications
Hi all, I'd like to know if any of you have run into the same problem as I have when filling out applications and what you did about it. I have, from time to time, left MT work and applied for other jobs outside the home. Over the last few years, I have worked for a few MT services for a short time. I don't even remember the dates that I started working for each one and stopped. Some were so short (a few months) because it didn't work out for some reason (job wasn't as described or some other reason). How do you handle something like that on an application? You don't want to appear as though you job hop, but you know as well as I do how some services are and you CAN'T stay any longer working for them. I'm at a loss now, how to handle this on a job application.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks. I have already sent out like 11 resumes and tested with three of the places. I have only he
the woman told me she had just hired and to check back in 6 months. I have also e-mailed five other companies to see if they were hiring. I assume since I have heard nothing back from them they are not. Thankfully the one I heard from was not a defnite no but I can't wait 6 months for a job either. With times as they are I could use some extra income right now. I guess I will keep looking and hope someone calls me soon.
Next thing they will be using HSD on resumes and credits ---
high school dropout.
AA is absolutely a nothing degree. It means you took a year or 2 of education beyond getting your GED or graduating from high school.
Start sending resumes now
I'd start sending resumes now. The way things seem to be going, it will take several months to get anything anyway, so don't delay. Really try to pump up the good aspects of how you work - good accuracy, building speed, reliability to schedule, etc. That may help when employers see that you've only been at it for 9 months. You will find someone who will take a chance on you.
As to your other questions, there are so many variables, there's no one situation that works for most people. A lot of people like being employees, but a lot of us like being IC. Some people hate large corporations and others love them and would never think of working for a small company.
I know for my situation, it took a couple of tries until I found a situation that I think works for me.
If I were in your situation (and I have been) I'd send out resumes to every company that is advertising and even some that are not. If a company is advertising and they want someone with 2 years or less, send them a resume or take their online test. The worst that can happen is they say no, but you just might hit someone on a good day where they think you're worth talking to.
Good luck.
What a recruiter told me they look for on resumes
I was told when a job is posted, they literally get 100 resumes/applications. When they go through them - they want to see exactly what kind of experience you have. Not just specialties, neurology for example - but what type of reports, EMGs, EEGs, MRIs, CTs, etc. What type of op notes? This should be a little verbose. Next they want to know what services you have worked for, paid by production, platforms used, and yes even the equipment that you currently have in your possession and ready to use. This cuts down on the questions they have to ask you. If you have already answered most of their questions on your resume, you probably go in the contact pile. If your current and past MT employment is sketchy and verification information/dates is not offered, you probably go in the trash pile if they have enough qualified people to contact. You can't just say I have been an MT for 10-20 years, a lot of people have. Think of yourself as the recruiter and the information you would want to know.
How would the info from our resumes be used for identity theft?
I guess I don't understand it. My social is not on my resume. Only my name and phone number and previous employers. How would one use this info to gain enough info to use my identity? I am just curious.
I would just start sending out resumes and posting
your resume on the various job boards. I never had any MT training, but I have also been doing this for 20 years. You might not get a job in acute care, but your experience should get you in the door.
May I ask if the experienced people have been getting any replies to their resumes posted on here
within the past few weeks. Just curious as to what type of responses you have hda. Thanks much.
I handle resumes/apps at my company and I would assume
If you note to me in your mail or on your resume next to the company name to not contact, I would have no problem whatsoever with that.
I understand - I handle resumes/apps for 2 large companies and it is
Part of me wants to play an HR advisor and give them a mini-course!
Not going to happen, however, because that is their sole responsibility - to present their best foot forward.
Most Dr. dont care and dont know how they get

Hello....YOU dont get it!
She is 18. She is an adult. Her parents didn't "send" her there. She went with her friends. Her parents, I am sure, instilled values in her. But she, like most peoples young teenage children, probably was acting like all the other young teenagers there and having fun. No one said she had no values. She made a bad decision. Your children could do the same, no matter how you have raised them. Should you be persecuted because of it? I think you don't have a clue.
I dont know
I do not carry it now with the company I am an IC for, but I am new in the field so I rely on asking you guys
I dont believe you
I really doubt you transcribe that many lines in an 8 hour day five days a week. You must do a single ESL dictator. You must be one of the lucky ones who gets to use all of those "normal" reports. Since I moved to DQS all I get is ESL dictators and NO use of normals or canned reports.
Still dont believe ya
If you are doing straight typing and not using normals, let us in on your secret. I concentrate! I have a positive attitude! I can also type 120 words a minute! You must type 300+ words a minute. Well, just stay happy because soon you will not be getting the same type of work and you will be in ESL h-e-double toothpicks! Enjoy it while you can.
No I dont. I am from the NE.

DONT go to SPI.

you dont' know.
This is why I think the old "page" and "half page" method of pay was better for everyone. I think it forced everyone to be honest.
Do you think they'll ever bring back 'per page' method of billing ?
